I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Nick Fury replied instinctively:

"On my way here, I was almost attacked by a guy with a metal arm, wait..."

Is it Natasha?

"You're awake?!"

Nick Fury finally recognized her voice; although her tone hadn't changed, her voice had risen considerably.

Yes, although I don't know what happened.

But it seems like Hill saved me...

Natasha said, glancing gratefully at Hill, before adopting a serious expression and tone to continue asking:

"Nick, why was headquarters attacked? Who did it?"

Where have all our people gone?

Why wasn't there a counterattack?

She asked them both their current questions in one breath.

Before a reply could be received from the other end of the communicator, Hill tugged at her sleeve.

“Natasha…look.”

She turned her head and saw Hill crouching next to an armed man whose mask had been torn off.

A familiar face appeared.

"Are they our people?"

Natasha exclaimed in surprise.

She had worked in the bureau for over ten years and knew many field agents, and this person was one of them.

At that moment, Nick Fury replied through the communicator.

"Although it's hard to accept, it's true..."

S.H.I.E.L.D.... had actually been infiltrated by Hydra from top to bottom, inside and out long ago.

I don't even know who I can trust anymore.

For a time,

All three fell into silence.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the distance, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

To conserve their energy, the two chose not to engage the enemy, but instead quietly climbed into the ventilation duct above before they arrived.

The two lay prone on the pipe, holding their breath and not daring to move, observing the situation below through the gaps in the pipe opening.

boom...boom...boom

The heavy military boots thudded on the ground.

A burly man wearing a tactical vest and a black half-face mask appeared, leading a group of fully armed soldiers to the spot where Hill and her group had just been stationed.

Although Natasha couldn't see the man's face clearly, his silver metallic arm instantly caught her attention.

She recognized the man; he was the one who had just thrown the bomb into the hospital room!

She didn't make any rash moves; this man gave her a very dangerous feeling.

She planned to wait until he left before the two of them found a chance to escape from headquarters and reunite with Nick Fury.

below,

The man with the metal arm spoke a few words to the others in Russian, after which they split into several groups and dispersed.

Natasha was a Russian citizen, so she naturally understood him. The man's general meaning was...

Send them directly to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s main control room. Make sure they are captured. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!

Then we set about launching the 'Insight Project'.

Natasha secretly memorized this information.

at this time,

The man below glanced at the men lying on the ground, whom Natasha and Hill had dealt with, and then walked away unmoved.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, the two people in the ventilation duct breathed a sigh of relief…

boom! ! !

Suddenly, a large silver hand burst through the ceiling, grabbed Natasha's ankle, and pulled her down!

"careful!"

Reacting quickly, Hill grabbed Natasha mid-air and turned to kick the Iron-Armed Warrior.

As she kicked out, the sun mark on her chest flashed!

A massive surge of energy instantly flowed from the mark into her legs!

state! !

The kick was blocked by the Iron Arm Warrior, producing a dull metallic clang.

Hill's kick sent him staggering back several meters before he regained his balance.

But it didn't seem to have caused him any harm; he remained indifferent and numb.

He raised the metal left arm and saw a dent on the back of the forearm, with sparks still flying from the mechanical structure inside.

It seems that Hill's kick was quite powerful!

Even she herself hadn't expected that Lei Ming had bestowed upon her more than just healing abilities...

The three had already spread out.

But the Iron Arm Warrior clearly had no intention of letting them go. He swung his metal arm and continued charging towards the two of them!

crucial moment,

call out! ! !

A shadowy figure flew straight from behind, heading straight for the Iron Arm Warrior, but he reacted quickly with superhuman speed and turned around to grab the shadowy figure!

state! !

The moment the metal arm made contact with the phantom, a buzzing sound of metal colliding rang out!

Hill and Natasha then noticed what the Iron-Armed Man was holding in his hand.

It's a shield!

Chapter 196 T'Challa's Apology

"Steve!"

Natasha had just called out that name,

At the other end of the corridor appeared a tall man wearing a dark blue battle suit and a helmet with five stars.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Steve glanced at Hill on the other side, then noticed Natasha was there too.

And it's completely intact!

"Natasha!? You're awake!?"

Steve's expression visibly brightened with joy.

But then, a fist gleaming with metallic luster appeared before his eyes!

The two immediately became entangled, during which Steve discovered that this person not only possessed formidable metal arms but also had immense strength, no less than his own. He took a moment to shout to Hill and Natasha:

“You go first!

Leave this to me!

"But……"

Hill wanted to help, but Natasha pulled her back.

"Hill!"

Steve can handle it!

Our top priority now is to rendezvous with Nick Fury and figure out exactly what 'Project Insight' is!

Without further hesitation, Hill turned and ran with Natasha toward the exit.

Both men were extremely familiar with the area, and they quickly shook off the pursuing Hydra soldiers, stole a car, and left the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building…

After half an hour,

Located in an underground safe house in the suburbs of New York,
